Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

[SteveW86]

If that's right I stand judged.- petard duly hung

My post was with regards the bickering/argument about kids jabs which IMO is an entirely personal issue.

As the thread starter, I’m pretty sure you could just ask for the thread to be closed/deleted.

But still not willing to answer the questions in bold in post #25726, especially the people you’re pointing fingers at, “Some on here don't appear to be doing that based on probabilities and medical advice.”

Who are the “Some on here” as that accusation is insulting to them as parents.

Please move on.

He doesn't even need to ask - delete the opening post and the whole thread goes bye bye

Just imagine the chaos

Don’t think Fragger would be please but it was slightly amusing to see it just vanish ?

It would be the classic mercy killing.

Maybe you should reread what you’ve posted towards those parents that have chosen not to have their children vaccinated. You come across as arrogant and superior in your attitude towards them.

It amazes me that when someone defends their opinion, there are some who consider it arrogant etc.
if an opinion is contradicted by facts, then most on here , I hope and think, will acknowledge that they were wrong. But it isn't arrogant to continue to debate and stick to your opinion where it isn't prov d to be wrong ( or right).
By definition, this place is where we can and do air opinions. Why get upset at it happening?
No one is forced to be here reading threads.

I have no idea where the majority for closing the thread or not would fall: so I don't think it's my call.

I agree it has rather had some twists and turns but I think the moderators rightly have the control of the guillotine.

We should have a poll: Keep the thread, yes or no.

Don't close it, I haven't found out what happened to the ? yet

 

[PhilTheFragger]

It’s definitely staying open…….

If only to keep the argumentative posters in one place ??

 

[Swinglowandslow]

Erm, yeh!!!!

So you ignore the rest of my post, so we'll stick with this bit, ok

Which says that you had jabs of a vaccine you believe is not Ok, I.e. not safe

(Edit...Saw an earlier post)

Some early data from Japan showing that in lab tests, the new BA.2 variant of omicron is both more contagious and more pathogenic than the currently prevalent BA.1 variant. It also appears to be potentially more vaccine resistant.

There was a news story earlier this week in which a leading UK virologist reminded us that viruses do not necessarily get less virulent with evolution, a point I have made here before.

An interesting thread on this Variant.

That data cites a 3.5% admission rate, which is much higher than the rate in the UK (or anywhere else, probably). SA has a very different population, with a lot of background risk factor differences, including HIV, which could affect response. I would like to see UK data. On the face of it BA.2 has some "technical" advantages over BA.1. Whether those translate into clinical differences is an important question.

But the other point is that Covid will not necessarily get less virulent with evolution. There is no evolutionary pressure on it to do so.

Just saw this mornings news, were it is confirmed self isolation will end in England next week.

That should add another 40 pages to this thread before tomorrow

To save us time, perhaps it would be best to just copy and paste the last 40 pages?

It's quite amusing to note that people keep posting yet demand the thread's removal.

And there's the issue; like the political threads, it's not the subject...

Apparently so, I couldn't find a single post demanding removal. Can you quote one?

I'm back to exam invigilating this coming week for the first time since Covid. So clearly I am feeling more confident about returning to something like normality, albeit a different one to that which we had before (will wear a mask and sanitise hands regularly etc). I'm in the sports hall so anything up to 180 students - had a moments panic about the "risk" yesterday but will do my best to mitigate and am triple jabbed...
